A Thank You To The Girls Of My Spring Break Road Trip
Rebekah DeBuse

This year for Spring Break, I decided to go with two of my friends to Starkville, Mississippi to visit some friends. This was a very last minute decision, but after getting back home from the 5 hour drive, it is not a decision I regret. Even though I was only there for 3 and a half days, I have so many memories that will last a lifetime. After spending 10 hours combined in a car with these ladies I owe them some gratitude for putting up with me.

To the ultimate driver,

Thank you for driving the whole way down there, for focusing on the road, and for not killing us. I really appreciate it. Thanks for always appreciating my song choices and for laughing at me being dumb. It really means alot to me. I’m glad I called shotgun and was able to talk with you the whole way there. Thanks for putting up with out ridiculous requests to pull over and take pictures with signs. I’m glad we were buddies for the weekend and stuck together. Thanks for coming up with crazy plans to pass the time, but then later deciding they were really dumb (like why did we ever think driving to NOLA was a good idea?) Thanks for always being ready for an adventure and for never saying no! I’m so glad I can call you one of my best friends now after this trip; I just love you so much!

To the backseat,

Thanks for being the snack distributor, reminding us about the existence of bathrooms, and for napping like a boss (like seriously you were out for a solid 2 hours of the ride back). Thanks for letting us crash your trip and for making sure we had a good time. Thanks for being my church buddy and for constantly monitoring the volume of our car jams. Thanks for being my best friend and for always having my back, because I could not have made the trip without you. Thanks for being super extra and making us bring our own towels, coffee, and coffee mugs even though we used none of them. I always know I will be prepared when I go anywhere with you.

Spring Break 2017 was one of the best Spring Breaks I have ever had and it didn’t even involve a beach; although there was some sand volleyball that I ABSOLUTELY KILLED! I am so grateful I had the opportunity to road trip with two of my best friends and I cannot see where the road will lead us next.

Yeehaw and ride 'em, cowboy, 'cause we sure had fun in Mississippi.

Love,

The Shotgun

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
